1: What is your OC’s human name and which country/city/state does it represent?
Portland, Oregon/ Rodney Pettygrove-Jones
2: What is that character’s personality and how does it correspond to the country you wish to roleplay?
Rodeny is kind of like a hispter infused with a yuppie that has a distinct rosy scent :I. But seriously, Rodney is the kind of guy you would find sitting at the Coffee shop going on and on about his latest literary work but not actually write anything on the laptop he has specifically set out so the screen can glare at you in the corner of your eye. He's very eco-friendly and rides his pimpin' bike everywhere, also he doesn't support animal violence so he prefers to be a part-time organic vegan (until he craves a double bacon cheese burger at 3 in the morning). Rodney also has strong art and music influences, that's a cultural explosion in your face holes (i.e. ears, and eyes, but sometimes mouth and nose aswell). Not to mention he's very liberal minded, warm, friendly, and inviting, he'll share a cup of soy glucose free milk with you any day of the week.
3: What are their relationships with other countries?
Portland gets along pretty well with other countries and states, I'm pretty sure he just follows the flow. He absolutely trolls Seattle whenever he can though.
4a: How much do you know about the history of your character? Give us a little backstory on him/her.
Rodney first started out as a clearing in the woods where Native Americans and traders bartered for goods. With the rapid growth in the west coast or more specifically the gold rush Portland naturally grew along side it. Portland was also selected to be the port for the The Petonia, a mail streamer and the salom industry was booming aswell. Major disaster hit when fire spread through out the downtown area, afterward reconstruction involved only cast iron, brick and stone. Rodney came back from this with first transcontinental railroad in 1883 and from their it was a steady increase in economic growth. Even in WWII Portland was ship building and manufacturing center. But now most of the factory have moved north of downtown and the area is now filled with boutiques and art studios. And Due to the increase of population every day it is hard to maintain the urban development plans he has set out for himself. Which really shot the job market to hell, so now most people just work in bookstores like Powell's (one of the largest new-and-used bookstores in the world) and coffee shops.
4b: What's their appearance? Please provide either a detailed description or a picture. Pictures are preferred if possible, but only one that is self-made.:
Rodney has light brown hair, slightly shaggy and cut short, and five-a-clock shadow not matter what. He usually wears old-fashioned glasses (though he only needs them to read), layers of clothing and a woven beanie.
(Will include pic once he's sorted.)
4c: How old are they/What year are they(freshman, sophomore,etc)?
Sophomore/20 years of age
5: How active do you think you can be?
pretty smincking active
6: So you’re new here! How do you find your way around the campus, do you ask someone for directions or try to figure it out yourself?
/Pulls out portable megaphone “We spend thousands in student tuition fees each year and they can't even provide a school map with environmentally safe ink copied on recycled paper?! I ask you children of the Earth are you not ashamed of your apathetic pseudo-ignorance?!”
7: You have several projects due! Do you get started working on them right away?
Of course I'll write a 5 page essay on the first day it's given on recyclable paper
8: Some girl/guy’s trying to hit on you! How do you react?
“So...um....want to see my tattoos?”
9: Uh oh! You accidentally broke a very prized trophy that the school had won! What do you do?!
“Look do you see what's on the bottom?! MADE IN CHINA! Do you know how many poor undernourished abused children it took to make this? I did you a favor by breaking this symbol of oppression! I SAVED YOUR SOUL!”
10: You see a student with a broken leg?! What do you do?
“Hang on dude help is on the way” pulls out mobile phone and speed dials his friend who specializes in herbal remedies
11: A fight breaks out in the quad! How do you react?
“Dudes! Dudes! Dudes! It's all about positive energy you know negative energy will get you no where in life.”
12: It’s PE time! Are you good with sports and athletics?
“Ummm Coach I just got my period so can I sit this one out?”
13: A big test is coming up! Do you prepare or do you sack studying?
Of course I studied, what else would I do at the coffee shop?
14: Someone is stalking you in the hallways! Who is it, and how do you react?
“Is he looking to rent a place? because I kinda of have an apartment but it's kind of falling apart and the lease is almost up.”
15: What do you want to major and why?
It's undefined at the moment but I'm definitely feelin' good vibes from the art department
16: Any questions?
Where can I put my keytar?
(it's all work in progress really)
